FIRECRACKER / HARRY POTTER

04

THE two teens walked around looking at the tents, different quidditch themed foods and even some wizards dressed head to toe in their respected teams colors walking around. the air was crisp and it smelt like buttered popcorn and sweat. it had finally gotten dark and there was maybe an hour left till the game.

milly nudged blaise pointing to a booth, a tall camera and some stilt walkers were infront. people would pay the cameraman and in return he would take a picture of them with the stilt walkers and get the printed out versions. magic came in handy at times like these.

the two people on the long sticks were dressed in red and green uniforms, representing the bulgarian and irish teams. their faces painted in the respective colors. the pants of the uniforms stretched over the sticks making it look like as if they were real. their legs seeming to go on forever.

"i want a picture!" milly exclaimed, blaise nodded. they headed over to the stall and blaise paid the man. a family had just finished taking pictures when milly headed towards the stilt walkers. the one in the irish uniform was a rather young boy no older than 18 milly thought. he had beautiful raven hair and looked quite handsome even with all the green face paint on him.

the camera man yelled at the two guys then pointed towards milly, the one in irish clothing smirked locking eyes with her. "supporting the enemy huh beautiful?" he said to her.

she laughed surprised at the sudden compliment as they neared closer to her. "you're the enemy not me!" she teased the smile on her face still visible, "alright look at the camera doll" the man in the bulgarian uniform instructed. she turned towards the camera a huge smile on her face. the two man leaned down towards her, to make their painted faces visible in the picture.

the flash of the camera popped once blinding the girl, her attention shifted to blaise, who stood next to the cameraman staring at the cameras little screen. he was checking the photos, what a gentleman. milly smirked. he looked up at the girl and their eyes locked at eachother, he sent her a thumbs up, which in response melinda yelled at him.

"blaise! come here i want a picture with you!" she had to yell as loudly as she could, otherwise he couldnt hear her over the thousands of people around them. even with everyone almost trampling on each other the crowd had parted around the booth seemingly not wanting to mess with peoples bread winnings, letting them take the picture more comfortably since people weren't all up in their faces.

he went next to her, this time the stilt walkers standing a bit straighter and to the back letting the two teens be the focus of the picture.

blaise wrapped his arm around her waist, while milly's hands crept up to the other side of his head, looping her arm around his back for support. she tilted her head toward him, bringing their faces close together as blaise smirked, and milly puckered her lips and closed her eyes for the picture.

the cameraman took a couple photos of the two, and blaise stepped away from her so she could take more photos with the stilt mans. melinda chuckled at him as he crept away, this time the boy in the irish uniform leaned even closer. "that your boyfriend?" he asked her staring into her star like eyes. she had to look up at him, on her tippy toes head jerked back. a little puzzled a confused smile played on her lips.

before she could even answer, the boy scooped her up under her arms, lifting her off the ground.

milly shouted, as he straightened up with the girl in his arms. he shifted his hands, now cupping under her butt, forcing her to grab onto his shoulder tightly to keep from falling. "dont drop me!!!!" she yelled, she could hear blaise laugh from the ground.

"i'd have to be crazy to drop such a beautiful girl" the irish boy mused. she tilted her head meeting his gaze just as the camera flashed, capturing their faces nearly a inch apart. you could see the moment the spark of attraction ignited in her eyes. the bulgarian man came closer, "look at the camera" he told milly.
